Sparked an interest I didn’t know I had

Prior to discovering this podcast I didn’t even know motion design was a thing - I only started listening to this podcast by chance after I randomly stumbled upon an episode with an artist I follow.

Fast forward a few weeks and I’ve now listened to about 90% of all episodes, and I have developed a burning desire to get into the motion graphics world. Really looking forward to taking my first course - from The School of Motion!

Favourite motion graphics podcast!

Recently started listening and its so refreshing to hear from the multiple guests on the show because it gives so much invaluable info/wisdom/knowledge. Really appreciate this podcast!

@tom_motion ,

Treat your ears and school your brain.

I can't praise Joey and team more at School of Motion they really do an incredible job at providing on point content! Keep it coming guys I need more! The podcast is a fantastic asset for any motion designer or creative and I highly reccomend you tune in and subscribe. I've been in the industry for over 5 years now and studied design at University but I can honestly say I've learnt just as much again from listening to this podcast. I wish I had this before I got into the industry as it's second to none. It's also a brilliant way of keeping in touch with the community and discovering new talent and much more.
